Eataly

"This is for the Eataly on Liberty. This place is always packed. The food is always good. It’s great for a large group, you don’t feel claustrophobic like some places in Manhattan. We had seven for dinner tonight. I unfortunately did not take photos of the appetizers, or the meal. We did the meatballs, broccolini, calamari; a few glasses of red wine; a salmon, a few steaks, bunch of pastas, and a chicken Milanese. Everyone enjoyed their food. They’re doing something different with the tiramisu since the last time I was there. There are lady fingers in it now, and it’s a bit celebratory how they unwrap it. We also tried the panna cotta, the Amalfi, and limoncello. My only knock was that it might be the dirtiest bathroom I’ve ever used in a restaurant. The bins in each stall were overflowing. I’m going to leave out some details, but it was unpleasant. The labyrinth of the marketplace is such a great vibe. And the location is a huge thumbs up."

"This spot is a gem! The pizza is the absolute standout—it’s so authentic and the ingredients are so fresh that it feels like a slice of Italy. ​The atmosphere is fantastic, and the staff does a great job maintaining a clean and welcoming environment. Best of all, the service is incredibly quick and professional without ever feeling rushed. It’s the perfect place for a high-quality meal that doesn't keep you waiting. I’ll definitely be back!"

"Love this location. It’s super convenient in the Financial District and offers a great food and grocery option. They usually have any items on sale, but this time they didn’t. They have two restaurants. I prefer La pizza & la pasta. The gelato is also delicious."
